Supplement to Collier's 'The works of Shakespeare : the text regulated by the recently discovered folio of 1632, containing early manuscript emendations : with a history of the stage, a life of the poet, and an introduction to each play,' also known as the Perkins folio. Collier claimed to have discovered extensive new manuscript emendations to Shakespeare's folio of 1632 in a 17th-century hand, which he published in 'Notes and emendations to the text of Shakespeare's plays.' After examining the manuscript, scholars at the British Museum proclaimed it to be a 19th-century forgery.

Blind rage underlies Leontes jealousy in The Winters Tale. Although his jealously is akin to Othellos, it is not carried out to the same extent, thanks to the oracles pronouncement. While Leontess change of heart strains credibility, he does redeem himself and, in the process, changes the tragedy into a comedy, or at least a play with a happy resolution. One might also compare Hermione with Desdemona as both are more sinned against than sinning (Lear, III.2). Despite Leontes reformation, one cannot avoid sympathy for Hermione, she who has been made to pay dearly for her husbands lack of faith and trust. She certainly deserves more.
